It has been suggested that this article be merged with Patron saints of ailments, illness, and dangers, Patron saints of places and Patron saints of ethnic groups to List of patron saints by occupation and activity. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2016. |
The idea of assigning a patron saint to a certain locality harks back to the ancient tutelary deities. This is a list of patron saints of places by nation, region, and town/city. If a place is not listed here, it may be listed in "Patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary."
